Henry Weiss and Catherine Holton Weiss settled in southern Macoupin County, very near the border with Madison County, sometime between 1850 and 1860. On this site I will share research, photos, and stories about Henry and Catherine and their descendants. Look around and enjoy. And if you think you might be a cousin, please contact me!
The above photo is not a photo of the Weiss family farm, but is an example of farming in 1800s Illinois.
